The Only Cafe

Have been coming here almost daily for coffee since moving into the neighborhood five years ago. The staff are like family and go out of their way to treat my children with kindness and enthusiasm. Coffee is Detour and there is no charge for alternative milks. I miss when they had a lunch/dinner menu! But the snacks and pastries they have now are really good also. My favourite back patio in the city.

Ok, first time I went, it was pure chaos and I wasn't a fan, but it's grown on me. The staff really are personable and the beer selection is great. It's dive-y in a good way. I think I'm hooked.nnI'm not a fan of unnecessary live music, and don't think it should be a thing on a Friday or Saturday at a place that is so obviously popular, so they lose a point for that, but otherwise, I'm now loving it.

This is one of my favorite places to go to study although it can be very loud.nnThe sprinkle cookies here are probably my favorite cookies on earth. If I could, I'd eat these cookies every day for the rest of my life.nnMy go-to is an Iced Vanilla Matcha latte! 10/10 or a Caffè Americano 9.5/10nnThe staff is very friendly.nnThe water here is free! You can grab a pitcher of water, it is next to a fridge filled with drinks the drinks are not free, and there are cups right beside it as well.

I only walked around, don’t know about the food but they’re open very late and have multiple areas to sit. Check my pics.nParking is green P and street parking

The Only Cafe is the most popular cafe/bar in this neighborhood. It’s less than a min walk from Donlands station. I really like the coffee and pastries here. Their salads and yogurt/cereal jars are also very yummy vegan& gluten free ! The atmosphere is great, very warming and cozy. They often have events and bands playing live music. It’s a great place to relax, to meet people and to hang out with friends. I come here mostly during the day for coffee, but if you like beer, they have a huge collection of beers. Great fun in the bar. Highly recommended!
